With a new ISO 9001 revision due later in 2026, many certified organisations are asking the same question: what's changing, and what do we need to do about it?
The current version of ISO 9001 (known as ISO 9001:2015) is due to be replaced very soon. To be more specific, the revised standard is expected to be published in September of this year. While the final details are yet to be confirmed, there is already enough information available to give us a rough idea of what the ISO 9001 revision is likely to look like.

There is a common misconception in the United Kingdom that certifications to ISO standards (in particular ISO 9001) can only be issued by UKAS-accredited certification companies. This is not correct, and clarification can even be found on the UKAS website explaining this fact.
While UKAS is this country’s national accreditation body, their level of accreditation and oversight may not be the best fit for British companies looking to get certified to an ISO standard. In our experience, using a UKAS-accredited certification body is often more expensive than the independent accredited certification process we offer here at ISO Accelerator.
Our service is a great fit for small and medium-sized businesses looking for independent certification to an ISO standard. If this were not the case, then we wouldn’t have hundreds of satisfied repeat customers - and dozens upon dozens of glowing reviews!

Short answer: no, ISO 9001 does not cover health and safety. The ISO standard for occupational health and safety is ISO 45001.
ISO 9001 is the international standard for quality management systems. It has nothing to do with health and safety, which has its own ISO standard (ISO 45001).
